EasyCLA
EasyCLA streamlines the management and execution of Contributor License Agreements (CLAs), to help projects ensure that contributions are made in accordance with project policies. It is the only CLA management tool to correctly support both individual and corporate CLA workflows in an automated environment.
For information about how to get started with contributing to a project that uses EasyCLA, please see Getting Started and our FAQs page.
For support questions, please see our Troubleshooting page or file a support ticket.
Besides integration with Auth0 and Salesforce, the EasyCLA system uses the following third party services:
​Docusign for CLA agreement e-sign flow
​Docraptor for converting html CLA template to PDF file
​GitHub for GitHub PR CLA authorization checking/gating
Gerrit for CLA authorization review checking/gating
Auth0 For Single Sign On
Salesforce through the LFX Platform APIs
The EasyCLA project has two backend components.
The majority of the backend APIs are implemented in python, and can be found in the cla-backend directory.
Recent backend development was implemented in Golang, and can be found in the cla-backend-go directory. In particular, this backend contains APIs powering Automated Templates, GitHub Approved List of contributors, and Duplicate Company handling in the Corporate Console.
EasyCLA frontend consists of three independent Single Page Application (SPA) built with Ionic frameworks:
​EasyCLA front-end project console for the Linux Foundation director/admin/user to manage project CLA
​EasyCLA front-end corporate console for company CCLA manager to sign a CCLA and manage employee CLA approved list
​EasyCLA front-end contributor console for any project contributor to sign ICLA or CCLA
